Mapsource Question: Downloading Mapsets

I'm a relatively new Garmin user (I have the 276C) and I have a question about downloading mapsets from my PC to my GPS. Several weeks ago I highlighted a series of maps and downloaded them to the GPS in anticipation of riding to the MOA rally in Lima, Ohio. In checking the detailed maps on the GPS I see that I should have downloaded more detailed maps around the rally site. My question: can I simply select a few more detailed maps in Mapsource on my PC and download them to my GPS (thereby adding them to the maps already in the GPS) or do I have to create an entirely new mapset to download (because I'd effectively be "erasing the maps already in my GPS by downloading a few new ones)? I think I know the answer, but I'd like to be sure before wasting time. Thanks.

When you download maps the original maps are erased first. In other words, you will need to select ALL the maps you want, and download them at once.
